The journey begins with WheelUP & Tiawa’s “Take Me Higher (WheelUP Remix),” a vibrant UK Bass opener that sets the tone before Blaine Connell’s “Lovin” brings soulful house warmth. Captain Planet & Tony Allen’s “Tony’s House” injects electronic flair, while Basile de Suresnes’ “U All Disco Lovers. Fuck” keeps the energy playful. MDA GROOVES’ “Ipanema Jazz (Sean McCabe Basement Mix)” deepens the groove, followed by Sunkids’ “Rescue Me (Bini & Martini 999 Funk Mix)” and DJ Extreme Detroit’s “Powerless (Detroit Music Mix),” both brimming with funk‑laden drive.
Michael Gray & Barbara Tucker raise our spirits with “I Get Lifted (Extended Mix),” before Yuu Udagawa’s “We Become” drifts into deep house introspection. Jimmy Allen’s “I’ll Push, You Pull” restores house momentum, Crackazat’s “Shine” adds disco sparkle, and Mr. Dé’s “Please Believe It (Jules Wells Remix)” drops in a mid set crescendo. Jaegerosas’ “Sunshine (House Mix)” and Spencer Morales’ “Mainline” keep the house pulse alive, while The BCrew’s “Grace (Emmaculate Dub)” offers soulful depth.
The closing stretch begins with FAM Disco’s “Cinematic Travel,” a lush disco interlude, before Deon Cole, Terisa Griffin & Terry Hunter bring the beat back with “Where the Freaks At (Terry Hunter Club Mix).” Zaheera & Marasi’s “Esos (Dub Mix)” layers in Afro House textures, upon which Inner City’s “Praise” delivers a euphoric finale.
Across 74 minutes, 26:19 charts a spiritual path through jazz infused UK Bass, Funky House, Disco and Afro House.
